I have found supermarket strength (about 6%) vinegar quite effective
against weeds, especially grasses, and especially if a tablespoon of
canola oil and a tablespoon of liquid soap are added to each gallon.
Efficacy seems to depend to some degree on weather conditions, the
mix becoming more effective in hotter weather.
